Snooki just wants some love.

Planted on a couch, her purple-red hair spun out in waves around her face, she implores Jionni, her fiance, for a little “sugar.” They kiss, and briefly embrace. Jionni’s mother, Janice, walks downstairs and into the room, smiling.

“Seriously? That’s disgusting,” she says, their son Lorenzo in her arms. “You’ll end up pregnant again.”

Such are the woes of living in your in-laws' East Hanover basement. Which Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi — she of "Dancing with the Stars" and MTV fame — is still doing.

The scene is from a new batch of "Snooki & JWOWW" premiering Tuesday night. As Polizzi, 25, enters the third season of her "Jersey Shore" spinoff with Jenni "JWoww" Farley, the reality star remains pretty much where the cameras found her last time. Still sleeping in a mix of cheetah and zebra-print linens in the family home of fiance Jionni LaValle, young Lorenzo approaching the ripe old age of 1.

Snooki and family intend to move out, but are still working on building a home of their own.

“Yeah, (expletive) takes forever,” she said by phone from Los Angeles earlier this month, where every Monday for weeks now her dance chops have been on display in “Dancing with the Stars.”

Polizzi’s contractor has promised her the move-in should occur by next summer. She’s currently living it up on the West Coast, Farley in town to watch her co-star compete alongside partner Sasha Farber, a professional dancer and choreographer.

Paired again with the heads-taller Farley, who she affectionately calls her “hooker,” she was headed to an appearance on “The Tonight Show.” Some alcoholic refreshment the night before had the duo buzzing about In-N-Out Burger.

“I get drunk with like one glass of wine,” said Polizzi. “I had four.”

While Polizzi is eternally sure of a few things — her love for her family, New Jersey and animal print — she doesn't think she'll take top honors in the dance competition. "I'm definitely not going to win," said Polizzi, though she's still in the running (the latest episode airs tonight on ABC).

Polizzi's son, Lorenzo, born during the second season of 'Snooki & JWOWW,' celebrated his first birthday this past summer.

Farley, 27, had been in the audience watching her friend’s routines. “I cried like a baby,” she said, likening herself to an emotional mother. “I’m super proud of her.”

The first season of "Snooki & JWOWW" had them shacked up in Jersey City together, blasting off with a surprise as Polizzi told Farley she was both pregnant and engaged. The second season was all about a newborn — Lorenzo — and another engagement, as Farley's boyfriend Roger Mathews finally popped the question.

Beyond celebrity dancing and engaged life, what’s ahead for the Snooki and JWoww?

“Possibly more babies,” said Farley. “I know Nicole wants to have 35.”

Polizzi, who lost her baby weight and more, has a pregnancy book coming out in December. A nod to her “Jersey Shore” roots, it’s called “Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama, and all the Messy Milestones Along the Way” (Running Press, $22). And it's not an advice book.

“All the pregnancy books are just, like, facts,” she said. “For me, personally, I needed something that I could read and it’s going to be relatable.” Like, anecdotes about peeing one’s pants.

“I peed my pants yesterday,” Farley offered.

No wedding dates have been set, though Farley is convinced Polizzi’s nuptials will occur first. This season finds Mathews and Farley in couples’ therapy. Mathews doesn’t exactly take to the idea, saying a therapist is nothing more than “an overpaid, glorified moderator.” Farley wants counseling because she senses a lack of compromise in their relationship and can’t get Roger to envision them actually tying the knot.

Despite any trouble with their mates, the third season has Polizzi and Farley closer than ever, meaning they didn't rack up so many Parkway miles. Last year dually based in Manchester Township and East Hanover, the show now sees both in Ocean County, with Polizzi vacationing on Pelican Island in Berkeley Township.

A conflict arrives in the premiere episode when Jionni has to tell his mother they’ll be spending some time down the Shore.

"I'll put in for vacation, tomorrow," she offers. Not the response they wanted. Really, though, what left Polizzi more shaken were headlines about local residents not wanting MTV to film in Berkeley Township — "scared I was gonna get shot by the people living there," she said.

The town council president said cameras would be a distraction to the ongoing Hurricane Sandy recovery effort, and a man who lives near the house used for the show filed an injunction to stop production (he was denied).

“Everyone was so nice and welcoming,” she said. “The reports were not true at all.” Or, at least, not representative of the people they encountered during the six weeks they filmed this past summer.

“Honestly we didn’t even meet any of the five neighbors that had a problem with us,” said Farley.

Toward the end of filming, said Polizzi, one local even brought her a cake. “It was nice to kind of prove people wrong.”

Snooki and JWoww do not, however, get any good vibes from another New Jersey resident, Gov. Chris Christie. They said that during an appearance at the reopened Seaside Heights boardwalk ahead of Memorial Day weekend, their encounter with Christie was far from friendly.

“He told me and Nicole to our faces to go back to New York,” said Farley.

“I’m like, ‘Dude, you’re a really mean person,’” said Polizzi. “I do not want to be friends with him.”

She apologized for her choice of language, but not the reason behind the sentiment. "I have so many friends in Jersey who are gay and want to get married," she said. "You cannot bring church and state together."

Today the governor dropped his appeal of a N.J. Supreme Court decision rejecting his request for a delay in gay marriage proceedings, ensuring same-sex marriage would face no further obstacles in the state.

Even if Polizzi and Farley cannot warm Christie's heart, Seaside, they say, will stay in theirs.

Last year, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, not long after they wrapped the final season of "Jersey Shore" there, the pair and fellow cast members hosted a telethon to raise money for reconstruction of the Seaside boardwalk. In September a second disaster befell the wooden span in the form of a devastating fire.

Farley, at left, maintains that Polizzi will be the one who gets married first. She's also made her thoughts clear on Gov. Chris Christie's position regarding same-sex marriage.

"We know how much hard work they put in to get the business going," said Polizzi, speaking of the blaze that destroyed the Beachcomber. The Seaside bar had famously designated one stool as "Snooki's Chair," to represent where she was sitting when she got punched in the face during the first season of "Jersey Shore."

Farley was away from her Toms River home visiting Mathews’ family in Maine when she learned of the fire. Regaining cell service, she remembers receiving endless text messages about the disaster. “It’s like this empty, numb feeling,” said Farley, describing her reaction.

In the years since, both she and Polizzi have found love and left New York, their identities now somewhat entwined with New Jersey. Farley , however, doesn’t rule out getting a condo in Los Angeles.
